The extensive bushfires and droughts are definitely big factors. I worked briefly for a forestry in rural Victoria, where we would encounter koalas somewhat frequently where we would plant trees, These are lots that would be planted completely and years later cut and burned.

Wonder what would be also the effects of this on them and wildlife in general.When I have seen Koalas in the wild they seemed very apathetic- saw one stay at the very top of a blue-gum (which famously can shed huge pieces without much warning) even during a storm.
